("To know all is to forgive all.") ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   Tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner. ("To know all is to forgive all.") No commonplace is more untrue. Behavior, whether conditioned by an individual neurosis or by society, can be understood, that is to say, one knows exactly why such and such an individual behaves as he does. But a personal action or deed is always mysterious. When we really act, precisely because it is a matter of free choice, we can never say exactly why we do this rather than that. But it is only deeds that we are required to forgive. If someone does me an injury, the question of forgiveness only arises if I am convinced (a) that the injury he did me was a free act on his part and therefore no less mysterious to him than to me, and (b) that it was me personally whom he meant to injure. Christ does not forgive the soldiers who are nailing him to the Cross; he asks the Father to forgive them. He knows as well as they do why they are doing this -- they are a squad, detailed to execute a criminal. They do not know what they are doing, because it is not their business, as executioners, to know whom they are crucifying. If the person who does me an injury does not know what he is doing, then it is as ridiculous for me to talk about forgiving him as it would be for me to "forgive" a tile which falls on my head in a gale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -- it is the illusion of knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44828]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -- it is the illusion of knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of people mistake a short memory for a clear conscience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26975]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of people mistake a short memory for a clear conscience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a curious fact that people are never so trivial as when they take themselves seriously. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20048]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a curious fact that people are never so trivial as when they take themselves seriously.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wrestling is ballet with violence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wrestling is ballet with violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13960]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Safe in a ditch he bides, With twenty trenched gashes on his head,  The least a death to nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Safe in a ditch he bides, With twenty trenched gashes on his head,  The least a death to nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd missed some easy shots and made some ordinary decisions . . . but (coach Al Westover) encourages us to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31639]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd missed some easy shots and made some ordinary decisions . . . but (coach Al Westover) encourages us to shoot.
